The</font> Center for New Words presents:<br>
<br>
WOMEN, ACTION & THE MEDIA: Making Noise, Making Change<br>
Friday, March 31 -- Sunday, April 2<br>
MIT's Stata Center, Cambridge, MA<br>
<br>
Have you noticed that progressive women's voices have been
increasingly been shut out of the media (and, as a result, out of much
public policy discussion)? It's time to put women back in the story.
That's why the Center for New Words is hosting the third annual
Women, Action & the Media (WAM!) conference. Our past two
conferences have featured such speakers as Katha Pollitt, Medea
Benjamin, Marie Wilson, Julianne Malveaux, Jill Nelson, Amy Goodman,
Daisy Hernandez, Rita Henley-Jensen, Lisa Jervis, Shelley Lewis,
Elaine Lafferty, Noy Thrupkaew, and many more. This year's
conference will bring together more than 300 participants for over two
days of meeting, discussing, and exchanging our observations, ideas,
experiences, opinions, and tools for change-and to plan together for
action.<br>

SAVE THE DATE! Registration opens in November. Don't miss a thing --
email wam@centerfornewwords.org today to be put on the WAM!2006
announcement list.<br>
<br>
CALL FOR PROPOSALS:<br>
At WAM!2006, we'll develop skills and action plans to amplify
progressive women's public voices-as analysts, opinion-makers,
educated citizens and influences in civil society. But to do that, we
need you. What questions, issues, and concerns do you want to hear
debated? What are the actions we should be taking, and what should we
be preparing for? Our CFP guidelines are attached in a word document,
and are also available at www.centerfornewwords.org/wam2006.html .
Please send us your session proposals! Plus -- let us know you're
working on it! Email us<u> wam@centerfornewwords.org</u> and we'll
send you reminders about upcoming deadlines and other important CFP
information.<br>
<br>
We'll see you at the Conference!</blockquote>
